RE: Examples wanted for accessing FedEx or UPS server API's from RPGLE

Look at Scott Klement's HTTP API http://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/ it has examples included. The page has a link to sign up for a forum also.

Also download the free SOAP UI at http://www.soapui.org/

You can use SOAP UI to make sure you have the syntax correct and then use one of Scott's examples to create your request. Once you get to that point there are many that can help with more details. Once you work through this once you will realize how easy it is to access a web service from RPG. It has become my preference for interfacing with anyone external to our organization. I think we have about 6 different web services being used daily from our system.

Subject: Examples wanted for accessing FedEx or UPS server API's from RPGLE

All,
I have a client that needs to be able (using the FedEx or UPS API's) to send shipment information to the server and receive back rate information.

From what I have read so far, this can be done using SOAP/XML/WSDL or
HTTP

Post over SSL.

Does anyone have some sample code that I can use as a base for adding to my existing programs?

I have a basic understanding of XML and HTTP, but no experience in translating XML using RPGLE.

All help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff Young
